Scientific project

The topic of identity and European conscience has often been approached by historians from the angle of civilization, historical heritage and shared culture. Since 1993, the Pierre Renouvin institute (university Paris 1), the network of European historians «Les chemins et les temps de l'Europe» and the «Groupe de liaison des professeurs d'histoire contemporaine auprès de la Commission européenne» have developed several research tracks (with conferences organised in Salamanca, 1997 and Paris, 1999). This conference intends to follow in the footsteps in this line of research while focusing on the theme of the European public space.

This conference is organised in cooperation with the university of Cergy-Pontoise (CICC- Civilisations et identités culturelles comparées des sociétés européennes et occidentales) and is supported by the UMR IRICE (Identités, relations internationales et civilisations de l'Europe).
